Mexicali Blues - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]

Laid back in an old saloon with a peso in my hand[00:00:17]

Watchin' flies and children on the street[00:00:21]

And I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls who giggle when I smile[00:00:24]

There's a little boy who wants to shine my feet[00:00:29]

And it's three days ride from Bakersfield[00:00:33]

And I don't know why I came[00:00:35]

I guess I came to keep from payin' dues[00:00:37]

So instead I've got a bottle[00:00:41]

And a girl who's just fourteen[00:00:43]

And a damn good case of the Mexicali Blues yeah[00:00:45]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:00:50]

When the devil wants to take it all away[00:00:54]

Cherish well your thoughts[00:00:58]

And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:00:59]

'Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today[00:01:02]

She said her name was Billy Jean[00:01:23]

And she was fresh in town[00:01:25]

I didn't know a stage line ran from hell[00:01:27]

She had raven hair a ruffled[00:01:31]

Dress a necklace made of gold[00:01:32]

All the French perfume you'd care to smell[00:01:35]

She took me up into her room[00:01:39]

And whispered in my ear[00:01:41]

Go on my friend do anything you choose[00:01:43]

Now I'm payin' for those happy hours[00:01:48]

I spent there in her arms[00:01:49]

With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali Blues yeah[00:01:52]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:01:56]

When the devil wants to blow it all away[00:02:00]

Cherish well your thoughts[00:02:05]

And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:02:06]

'Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today[00:02:08]

And then a man rode into town[00:02:30]

Some thought he was the law[00:02:31]

Billy Jean was waitin' when he came[00:02:33]

She told me he would take her[00:02:37]

If I didn't use my gun[00:02:39]

I'd have no one but myself to blame[00:02:42]

I went down to those dusty streets[00:02:46]

Blood was on my mind[00:02:48]

I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news[00:02:50]

'Cause I shot first and killed him Lord[00:02:54]

He didn't even draw[00:02:56]

And he made me trade the gallows[00:02:58]

For the Mexicali Blues yeah[00:03:00]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:03:03]

When he lets a woman hold him in her hands[00:03:07]

He just might find himself out there[00:03:11]

On horseback in the dark[00:03:13]

Just ridin' and runnin' across those desert sands[00:03:15]
